UBC ARC strives to ensure that Sockeye has the most popular open source and, subject to license availability, commercially available HPC software, tools and libraries installed. Below is only a representative cross-section of the software and tools that are either currently available on Sockeye or can be easily installed by users. For an exhaustive list of currently-installed products, supported disciplines, and versions, as well as tips for user-installation, please see the UBC ARC Technical User Documentation.
